BLACKSBURG TRANSIT CHANGING SERVICE

The Blacksburg Transit will implement several service changes Tuesday because of Tour DuPont.

The Virginia Tech Mall will be closed all day; buses will pick up passengers at the Library Plaza and Brodie stops.

North Main, Windsor Hills, Tom's Creek Loop A and the Two Town Trolley buses will stop at Brodie. South Main, Hethwood, Special Purpose Housing (I-lot) and the Campus Circulator buses will stop at the Library Plaza.

Buses to South Main Street and Windsor Hills that would normally operate on Main Street will use the detour along Progress and Church streets while Main Street is closed. They will make courtesy stops at intersections.

The BT advises riders to expect some delays and to take earlier rides than normal.

Service to Windsor Hills will be suspended from approximately 4:30 -5:15 p.m. as the bikers come into town. By 6 p.m., scheduled service should resume with all routes stopping at the Library Plaza and Brodie stops on campus.
